When the seventh insulatinglayer 170 and the third bonding pads BP3 are formed, a third connection structure CNS3 may be formed on the first semiconductor structure SEM1. Second connection conductors CB2 may electrically connect the first channel layers CL1, the second bonding pads BP2, and the third bonding pads BP3 to each other. - When the third connection structure CNS3 is formed after the first semiconductor structure SEM1 is formed, it is unnecessary for fifth conductive layers CO5 (see
FIG. 1C ) of the third bonding pads BP3 to use any metal material which allows migration or diffusion to be reduced or minimized in a thermal process, and hence a metal material can be selected without limitation. Accordingly, the fifth conductive layers CO5 of the third bonding pads BP3 can use a metal material having a relatively low resistance. The metal material which the fifth conductive layers CO5 of the third bonding pads BP3 include may have a resistance lower than that which the second conductive layers CO2 (seeFIG. 1B ) of the second bonding pads BP2 include. In an example, the fifth conductive layers CO5 of the third bonding pads BP3 may include copper. - At the same temperature, a diffusion coefficient of the metal material which the second conductive layers CO2 of the second bonding pads BP2 include may be smaller than that of the metal material which the fifth conductive layers CO5 of the third bonding pads BP3.

first substrate 100, it is unnecessary for first conductive layers CO1 (seeFIG. 1B ) of the first bonding pads BP1 to use any metal material which allows migration or diffusion to be reduced or minimized in a thermal process, and hence a metal material can be selected without limitation. Accordingly, the first conductive layers COI of the first bonding pads BP1 can include a metal material having a relatively low resistance. The metal material which the first conductive layers CO1 of the first bonding pads PB1 include may have a resistance lower than that of the metal material which the second conductive layers CO2 (seeFIG. 1B ) of the second bonding pads BP2 include. In an example, the first conductive layers CO1 of the first bonding pads BP1 may include copper. - At the same temperature, a diffusion coefficient of the metal material which the second conductive layers CO2 of the second bonding pads BP2 include may be smaller than that of the metal material which the first conductive layers CO1 of the first bonding pads BP1 include.

When the first and second bonding pads BP1 and BP2 are bonded to each other, the first channel layers CL1 may be electrically connected to the peripheral transistors TR through the second connection conductors CB2, the first to second bonding pads BP1 and BP2, and the first connection conductors CB1. - After the first and second bonding pads BP1 and BP2 are bonded to each other, the
third substrate 300 may be removed. In an example, thethird substrate 300 may be removed through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of an etching process.
